Traverse County ADA Transition Plan

This Document has been created to specifically cover accessibility within the public right-of-

way and does not include information on Traverse County programs or practices not related

to accessibility within county public right-of way

Introduction

Transition Plan Need and Purpose The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted on July 26, 1990, is a civil rights law

prohibiting discrimination against individuals on the basis of disability. ADA consists of five

titles outlining protections in the following areas:

1. Employment 2. State and local government services 3. Public accommodations 4. Telecommunications 5. Miscellaneous Provisions

Title II of ADA pertains to the programs, activities and services public entities provide. As a

provider of public transportation services and programs, Traverse County must comply with this

section of the Act as it specifically applies to public service agencies. Title II of ADA provides

that, “…no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded

from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public

entity, or be subjected to discrimination by any such entity.” (42 USC. Sec. 12132; 28 CFR. Sec.

35.130)

As required by Title II of ADA, 28 CFR. Part 35 Sec. 35.105 and Sec. 35.150, Traverse County has

conducted a self-evaluation of its facilities within public right- of- way and has developed this

Transition Plan detailing how the organization will ensure that all of those facilities are

accessible to all individuals.

ADA and its Relationship to Other Laws Title II of ADA is companion legislation to two previous federal statutes and regulations: the

Architectural Barriers Acts of 1968 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

http://www.dol.gov/oasam/regs/statutes/sec504.htm

The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 is a Federal law that requires facilities designed, built,

altered or leased with Federal funds to be accessible. The Architectural Barriers Act marks one

of the first efforts to ensure access to the built environment.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a Federal law that protects qualified individuals

from discrimination based on their disability. The nondiscrimination requirements of the law

apply to employers and organizations that receive financial assistance from any Federal

department or agency. Title II of ADA extended this coverage to all state and local government

entities, regardless of whether they receive federal funding or not.

Agency Requirements Under Title II, Traverse County must meet these general requirements:

• Must operate their programs so that, when viewed in their entirety, the programs are

accessible to and useable by individuals with disabilities (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.150).

• May not refuse to allow a person with a disability to participate in a service, program or

activity simply because the person has a disability (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.130 (a).

• Must make reasonable modifications in policies, practices and procedures that deny

equal access to individuals with disabilities unless a fundamental alteration in the

program would result (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.130(b) (7).

• May not provide services or benefits to individuals with disabilities through programs

that are separate or different unless the separate or different measures are necessary to

ensure that benefits and services are equally effective (28 C.F.R. Sec. 35.130(b)(iv) & (d).

• Must take appropriate steps to ensure that communications with applicants,

participants and members of the public with disabilities are as effective as

communications with others (29 C.F.R. Sec. 35.160(a).

• Must designate at least one responsible employee to coordinate ADA compliance [28

CFR Sec. 35.107(a)]. This person is often referred to as the "ADA Coordinator." The

public entity must provide the ADA coordinator's name, office address, and telephone

number to all interested individuals [28 CFR Sec. 35.107(a)].

• Must provide notice of ADA requirements. All public entities, regardless of size, must

provide information about the rights and protections of Title II to applicants,

participants, beneficiaries, employees, and other interested persons [28 CFR Sec.

35,106]. The notice must include the identification of the employee serving as the ADA

coordinator and must provide this information on an ongoing basis [28 CFR Sec.

104.8(a)].

• Must establish a grievance procedure. Public entities must adopt and publish grievance

procedures providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints [28 CFR Sec.

35.107(b)]. This requirement provides for a timely resolution of all problems or conflicts















related to ADA compliance before they escalate to litigation and/or the federal

complaint process.

Self-Evaluation

Overview Traverse County is required, under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and

28CFR35.105, to perform a self-evaluation of its current transportation infrastructure policies,

practices, and programs. This self-evaluation will identify what policies and practices impact

accessibility and examine how the County implements these policies. The goal of the self-

evaluation is to verify that, in implementing the County’s policies and practices, the department

is providing accessibility and not adversely affecting the full participation of individuals with

disabilities.

The self-evaluation also examines the condition of the Traverse County’s Pedestrian Circulation

Route/Pedestrian Access Route) (PCR/PAR) and identifies potential need for PCR/PAR

infrastructure improvements. This will include the sidewalks, curb ramps and

bicycle/pedestrian trails that are located within the rights of way. Any barriers to accessibility

identified in the self-evaluation and the remedy to the identified barrier are set out in this

transition plan.

Summary In 2018-2019 Traverse County conducted an inventory of pedestrian facilities within its public

right of way consisting of the evaluation of the following facilities:

• 44 Sections of sidewalk on 6 County Highways

• 94 curb ramps at 27 different intersections

A detailed evaluation on how these facilities relate to ADA standards is found in Appendix A and

will be updated periodically.

Since the adoption of the ADA, Traverse County has striven to provide accessible pedestrian

features as part of the County capital improvement projects. As additional information was

made available as to the methods of providing accessible pedestrian features, the County

updated their procedures to accommodate these methods.

Policy Traverse County’s goal is to continue to provide accessible pedestrian design features as part of

the County’s capital improvement projects. Traverse County follows PROWAG (Public Right-of-

Way Accessibility guidelines), as adopted by the Minnesota Department of Transportation

(MnDot), as its design standard. Traverse County follows Mn/Dot policies and procedures

when dealing with accessibility issues related to public right-of-way.

Traverse County will consider and respond to all accessibility improvement requests. All

accessibility improvements that have been deemed reasonable will be scheduled consistent

with transportation priorities. The County will coordinate with external agencies to ensure that

all new or altered pedestrian facilities within the County’s jurisdiction are ADA compliant to the

maximum extent feasible.

Improvement Goal Traverse County has set the following schedule goals for improving the accessibility of its

pedestrian facilities within the County jurisdiction:

• After 12 years, 50% of accessibility features within the priority areas identified by

Traverse County would be ADA compliant.

• After 20 years, 90% of accessibility features within the jurisdiction of Traverse County

would be ADA compliant.

Implementation Schedule

Methodology Traverse County will utilize two methods for upgrading pedestrian facilities to the current ADA

standards. The first and most comprehensive of the two methods are the scheduled street and

utility improvement projects. All pedestrian facilities impacted by these projects will be

upgraded to current ADA accessibility standards. The second method is the stand alone

sidewalk and ADA accessibility improvement project. These projects will be incorporated into

the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) on a case by case basis as determined by Traverse

County staff.

Grievance Procedure It is encouraged that anyone with a potential grievance make early contact with the County’s

ADA Title II Coordinator or the County’s ADA Coordinator for Public Right-of -Way to informally

discuss concerns. However, the public may file a formal grievance by submitting in writing the

following:

- Name, address, and phone number of the person filing the grievance.

- Name, address, and phone number of the person alleging the ADA violation if other

than the person filing the grievance.

- A description and location of the alleged violation and the remedy sought.

- Information regarding whether a complaint has been filed with the Department of

Justice or other federal or state civil rights agency or court.

- If a complaint has been filed, the name of the agency or court where the complaint

was filed, and the date the complaint was filed.

The grievance will be either responded to or acknowledged within 10 working days of the

receipt. If the grievance filed does not concern Traverse County, the grievant will be notified.

Within 60 calendar days of receipt, the ADA Title II Coordinator will conduct the investigation

necessary to determine the validity of the alleged violation. If appropriate, the ADA Title II

coordinator will arrange to meet with the grievant to discuss the matter and attempt to reach a

resolution of the grievance. Any resolution of the grievance will be documented.

If a resolution of the grievance in not reached, the ADA Title II Coordinator, if appropriate will

issue a written determination as to the validity of the complaint and description of the

resolution, and a copy forwarded to the grievant no later than 90 days from the date of receipt

of the grievance.

The grievant may appeal the written determination. The request for reconsideration shall be in

writing and submitted to the ADA Title II Coordinator within 30 days after the initial

determination. A final determination will be made within 90 days from the filing of the appeal.

(See Appendix B. for Grievance form)

Monitor the Progress This document will continue to be updated as conditions within the County evolve.

The appendices in this document will be updated periodically, while the main body of the

document will be updated in (short term period, 3-5 years) with a future update schedule to be

developed at that time. With each main body update, a public comment period will be

established to continue the public outreach.

Access to Buildings from Access Routes and Parking Lots This Plan does not pertain specifically to building access requirements under ADA nor does it

identify deficiencies in accessibility to County owned buildings. However, the plan does

provided minimum handicapped accessibility guidelines for County owned buildings to which

there is reasonable expectation of daily or scheduled public use. Those minimum accessibility

standards are as follows: If stairs are present at the main entrance to a building there must be a

ramp, lift, or alternative accessible entrance. Service entrances (garage doors, service doors,

etc.) should not be used as alternative entrances except as a last option. Inaccessible main

entrances should be marked with a sign indicating where the nearest handicapped accessible

entrance is located. Accessible entrance doors must be equipped with power-assisted or

automatic door openers. Accessible entrance doors must be a minimum of 36” wide. In

outside areas around buildings accessible routes must connect parking spaces to accessible

entrances. Where the accessible route must cross vehicle traffic lanes, marked crossings must

be installed to enhance pedestrian safety, particularly for people using wheelchairs or other

mobility aids. Regular accessible vehicular parking spaces must be at least 10’ wide and 20’

deep. Loading and unloading accessible spaces must have a total of at least 5’ of extra access

isle on one or both sides. Access isles must be striped or marked to discourage parking in them.

Parking lots that provide accessible parking should (not mandatory) have at least one spot with

access isle space for loading and unloading. Accessibility guidelines state that there must be at

least one accessible parking space for every 25 parking spaces in the lot and two are preferred

in the first 25 parking spaces, 3 for 26+ spaces, 4 for 51+ spaces, etc.

Outreach Traverse County is required to publish responsibilities and self-evaluation results regarding ADA

along County right-of-way. This transition plan will be posted on Traverse County’s website

www.co.traverse.mn.us/departments/departments/highway-engineer/ for anyone interested

in reviewing or commenting on the plan. Comments and suggestions about the plan should be

directed to the ADA coordinator and/or the Public right-of-way Implementation Coordinator in

writing if any official action or response from the County is the desired outcome. Cities within

Traverse County will receive a copy of the plan for comment, if any. Any desired changes

received through public comments, will be included in the first plan update.

Future Plan Updates Updates to this plan will be made as necessary as progress is made towards correcting non-

compliant features identified within the current adopted plan or when comments or

suggestions received during the year warrant a plan update. In future updated versions of this

http://www.co.traverse.mn.us/departments/departments/highway-engineer/

plan, all sections of sidewalk and all curb ramps, under jurisdiction of Traverse County, will

remain in Appendix A and be denoted as either currently compliant or non-compliant.

Agency ADA Design Standards and Procedures

Design Procedures

Intersection Corners

Curb ramps or blended transitions will attempt to be constructed or upgraded to achieve

compliance within all capital improvement projects. There may be limitations which make it

technically infeasible for an intersection corner to achieve full accessibility within the scope of

any project. Those limitations will be noted and those intersection corners will remain on the

transition plan. As future projects or opportunities arise, those intersection corners shall

continue to be incorporated into future work. Regardless on if full compliance can be achieved

or not, each intersection corner shall be made as compliant as possible in accordance with the

judgment of County staff.

Sidewalks / Trails

Sidewalks and trails will attempt to be constructed or upgraded to achieve compliance within

all capital improvement projects. There may be limitations which make it technically infeasible

for segments of sidewalks or trails to achieve full accessibility within the scope of any project.

Those limitations will be noted and those segments will remain on the transition plan. As

future projects or opportunities arise, those segments shall continue to be incorporated into

future work. Regardless on if full compliance can be achieved or not, every sidewalk or trail

shall be made as compliant as possible in accordance with the judgment of County staff.

Other policies, practices and programs

Policies, practices and programs not identified in this document will follow the applicable ADA

standards.

Design Standards Traverse County has PROWAG, as adopted by the Minnesota Department of Transportation

(MnDOT), as its design standard.
